  Good for the soul!
  
  That's their motto and I couldn't agree more, let me tell you a wee story...
  
  It was my pals birthday and I said I'd meet him for lunch and as he works on the Dublin road that seemed the logical place to have lunch, especially as we both only had an hour to spare. I have to admit that initially we planned to go to Kitch but unfortunately the door was still locked when we approached. I suggested Souls as I had seen it when passing by and had also seen it pop up on my trusty Yelp app. To be perfectly honest I wasn't too hopeful, not because it didn't look great but because I thought it was more of a dinner destination that a lunch spot.
  
  Let's start with the decor, it's light bright and modernly furnished - a really comfortable environment without being overly formal - just what you want for a lunch time destination. We were presented with lunch menus when we entered. the options were good although they were definitely a little more expensive in comparison to other lunch menus I've seen.
  
  I ordered the Chicken Tikka wrap! When it came I was shocked at the presentation, they  made what could have been a simple wrap in to a work of art, the salad sat in a lettuce leaf, the sauce was smeared on the plate michelin style and the wrap was cut in half exposing the tender chicken. The wrap was actually a gluten free naan bread - sensational is the only word I can use to describe it. The wrap had a spicy kick but it wasn't overbearing.
  
  Overall the food was incredible, a really great lunch. I didn't feel too full and it was pretty healthy. Really top class food. The other thing to note was the speed of the food (lunch crowd take note) We ordered at 12:15 and our food was with us by 12:35!
  
  The staff were great too - granted there was only two of us in the restaurant but they were attentive and eager to help! The whole experience was fantastic - it won't be long until I'm back!

  Delighted by a lengthy vegan menu, but not so delighted by the actual food. Spiced potato cake starter consisted of potato cakes which seemed like frozen, mass-produced items. While the Tofu Saag Main consisted of sauce which was flavourful, the tofu itself was soft, gelatinous and poorly prepared. I cannot understand why a restaurant would bother serving tofu if it's not going to do it properly. Tofu should be crispy, firm, well-pressed and marinated - this tofu possessed none of these qualities. Indeed it was a soft tofu more suited to making desserts rather than a firm tofu which would be better suited to such a main dish. Pluses included tasty vegan naan bread, a dedicated vegan/ vegetarian menu, excellent service from two attentive waitresses and a beautiful restaurant interior. Food in Soul is not cheap, so it should be of better quality and it could be with a few small tweaks.

  This was absolutely fantastic and such a wonderful staff, we are on vacation from Texas and we saw this place passing by and we were very happy with the food. The butter chicken was great.

  The newest eatery in Belfast City Centre opened its doors this evening. It's situated on the busy Dublin Road and occupies the old Square restaurant.
  
  It's the brainchild of Pankaj and Sommerdeep (and their wives!!) who have worked long and hard to make their dreams a reality. The whole building has been totally transformed and will do very well. The restaurant is split over two floors and has an open plan kitchen upstairs and bar downstairs. It can comfortably hold 85-90 diners.
  
  The genre of food, head chef Sanjay explained was Indian food served in a European style- a proper Indo-Euro mixed cuisine. Sanjay has trained in the Hastings Group and Spice in Lisburn and his partner chef Rakesh has worked in Portugal, Spain and for Atul Kochar as well as at Taaj Jordanstown. They put on a fine assortment of canapés. These were  mushroom veloute, aubergine bruschetta, tandoori chicken cake, salmon and wheaten and lemon posset. There was prosecco on arrival and matched wines with the canapés. If the canapés are a reflection of the quality of the A la Carte Belfast is sure in for a culinary treat.

  Incredible restaurant, wish we had one near us!
  
  What an incredible combination of Indian spices and amazing quality food. Fusion best describes it, as the Indian spices are not really that spicy, so even my wife who can't stand Indian food, was very ecstatic enjoying our meal.
  
  We started off with an appetizer, a Tandori platter, an awesome dish with chicken tikka, Tandori monkfish, Lamb kebab,
  all awesome.  Ordered some cheese naan, which was the best naan we've ever eaten. Then we finished off with the tandoori monkfish Moilee, awesome dinner and portion
  
  The staff was happy to substitute vegetables for other items that we did not want that came with the entrée
  
  Really amazing experience, a must try!
